Often, work pressure, stress, or staying up late can lead to sleep deprivation. This leaves the body feeling tired the next morning, the mind sluggish, and difficulty concentrating throughout the day. However, even if you haven’t had the right amount of sleep, adopting some simple habits can keep you active and energetic throughout the day, let’s see how it can be…
What effect does lack of sleep have on the body?
Lack of sleep increases the stress hormone (cortisol) in the body, leading to fatigue and cravings for sweets. Blood sugar levels become unbalanced, leading to weakness and irritability. Additionally, hunger hormones (leptin and ghrelin) are disrupted, leading to increased hunger and frequent cravings.
Do these 3 things when you don’t get the right amount of sleep
1. Drink lots of water
Lack of sleep dehydrates the body. Drink 1-2 glasses of water as soon as you wake up. It improves the flow of oxygen in the body and keeps the mind active. Drink small amounts of water throughout the day to maintain your energy levels.
2. Drink saffron water
Boil 5-6 saffron leaves in a glass of water and drink it hot. It is a natural energy-boosting drink that improves mood and reduces fatigue.
3. Eat protein for breakfast
Breakfast should be light but rich in protein. Paneer or moong dal cheela, boiled eggs, or curd are good options. Protein helps balance blood sugar and provides energy throughout the day. Insomnia is normal, but following a proper morning routine can help you feel refreshed throughout the day. Just water, saffron and protein – these three things are enough to overcome fatigue.
